One photo in multiple frames

One photo in multiple frames
Using PSE11 on a Mac


Create a photo block array using the marquee tool - fill each block with color - any color will do (keep your photo in mind when creating your array)

"Frame" each photo block by creating a block for each photo block that is slightly larger to achieve the look of framing.  

Merge all the original photo block layers (this is the layer you will clip your photo to)

Add a shadow to each layer

Place your photo above the multi-block layer and clip it using Control/Command G

Thanks Janice.
Very neat and has some definite applications...can see this working "better" than a triptych for some scenes.

Thanks Clive

This one was when I was experimenting with pulled pixels to create backgrounds

To achieve a pulled pixel look - take a thin vertical slice from your photo and using the move tool -
pull at the side of the slice until you have a 'paper' large enough to use for your project
